Saddest thing is the Miracleman debacle.

Alan has no luck with Movies. Having read V in Warrior and as the completed trade in 89, the movies complete change of focus from home grown Thatcherite Fascism to 1984/ Nazis win war/ state control rubbish was a given. Damn it lost its relevance. I am still going to see it again on Imax though on the 14th of April at Waterloo.

Thatcherite Fascism to 1984/ Nazis win war/ state control rubbish was a given. Damn it lost its relevance.

Or it acquired a new relevance.

Hmm Moores V didn't thats why he had his named removed from it. Got to laugh from the Graphic illustrated by David Lloyd.

However the simplistic film based on Moores trade/ completed graphic written by those well known idea theifs the Warchowskis - (Can anyone say Invisibles + lots of stolen stuff from Ghost in the shell etc = Matrix. However in the Invisibles no one dressed as badly) might have some general relevance. I take your point and 1984/ Nazis win the second world war type of films always have some conspiracy theorist kind of relevance/ logic. I also admit I hate deviation from the original work so my views were biased against it before I watched it. Moving on as a stand alone it was a fun "low brow" flick. That's only my opinion and it's neither right or wrong, just right for me.

Who am I to say that he should be happy with the movie? It's his baby and I'd be very protective of mine too.

I understand Alan´s point of view, but I think it´s a little too rigid. I think the same story in different art forms can work on different levels, and people can take the same story and put something of a different spin on it. I think V can serve the core elements of the comic book and still resonate with current themes and US themes. I think storytelling is a fluid process, if someone took a story I wrote and did something different and it was good in its own right, I´d approve it.

i believe in what he said that his novel and the film have different intentions. the novel was to emphasize anarchy and rebellion and the fil m to emphasize that ther are governments that lie and manipulates its people. i'd say anarchy and rebellion sounds more powerful to me atleast.

My problem is that the government officials in the movie were 1-dimensional caricatures. They weren't real characters to me.
